One Direction Record Message For Alton Towers Crash Victim And Offer To Meet Her

One Direction have proven once again that they really do care about their fans, as they respond to the campaign for them to meet Alton Towers crash victim Leah Washington.

A friend of Leah's had launched the trend #Get1DToLeah after visiting her in hospital following the amputation of her left leg, as it was revealed Leah could no longer see 1D at Capital FM's Summertime Ball on Sunday which she had tickets for.

Louis Tomlinson was first to send his well wishes to Leah, writing on Twitter:

@leahwashy Thinking about you Leah & hoping you are home in South Yorkshire soon Xx

While a spokesperson for the band revealed the boys had taken time to send a video message to the teen, adding:

"Unfortunately because of their schedule they can't visit her in hospital, but they have offered Leah tickets to a forthcoming concert of her choice when she has recovered, and will be delighted to meet her backstage then."

Her friend has since responded to the overwhelming support, saying: "It's really given Leah something to aim for and really look forward to once she's recovered."

Leah was injured on the Smiler rollercoaster at Alton Towers when it crashed into another carriage last Tuesday.

She was on a date with Joe Pugh at the time, who is reported to have broken both of his kneecaps, with fourteen others left with severe injuries.

Going out tonightChanges into something redHer mother doesn't like that kind of dressEverything she never had, she's showing off

Driving too fastMoon is breaking through her hairShe's heading for something that she won't forgetHaving no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older, babyAnd I've been thinking about it latelyDoes it ever drive you crazyJust how fast the night changes?Everything that you've ever dreamed ofDisappearing when you wake upBut there's nothing to be afraid ofEven when the night changesIt will never change me and you

Chasing her tonightDoubts are running 'round her headHe's waiting, hides behind a cigaretteHeart is beating loud and she doesn't want it to stop

Moving too fastMoon is lighting up her skinShe's falling, doesn't even know it yetHaving no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older, babyAnd I've been thinking about it latelyDoes it ever drive you crazyJust how fast the night changes?Everything that you've ever dreamed ofDisappearing when you wake upBut there's nothing to be afraid ofEven when the night changesIt will never change me and you...

Going out tonightChanges into something redHer mother doesn't like that kind of dressReminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost

We're only getting older, babyAnd I've been thinking about it latelyDoes it ever drive you crazyJust how fast the night changes?Everything that you've ever dreamed ofDisappearing when you wake upBut there's nothing to be afraid ofEven when the night changesIt will never change, babyIt will never change, babyIt will never change me and you
